Phase 4.1 - 25th Oct 2017
Greetings Captains,
Today we are releasing our next update which contains a selection of fixes and balance changes as well as our Halloween event.
Halloween Event
A new threat has arrived from beyond the galactic rim. Aboard the Charon, The Dark have occupied unexplored territory. Your mission is to find them and wipe them out before they do the same to us. Successful teams that are able to take down the Charon will be rewarded with a boost to their mineral reserves during a match and receive a Dark themed Drop Pod. Teams that hunt down and destroy the Charon 10 times will receive a Legendary Protagonist Crew Member and for playing a total of 15 matches of Quickplay or PvP will net you the Ridley J. Fincher (Level 0).
The Dark event will be running from 25th Oct to the 5th Nov and the Ridley J Fincher event will be running from 30th Oct (5pm UTC) to the 5th Nov (5pm UTC).
General Changes
Base Commander VO is now toggleable in Audio Options, defaulting to enabled.
Taunts are now toggleable in Audio Options, defaulting to disabled.
Player vs player comparisons have now been implemented on the results breakdown page.
Ships will now have an electricity material effect when under the effect of the Executioner's Stasis Field buoy.
Both the Brawler and Displacer no longer require their target to be selected in order to initiate their pull/push ability.
Added Focus Fire display functionality (default binding: F)
If a ship is within your spotting range a visible "Spotted" icon will appear on your Ship HUD.
Your last Results Screen can now be revisited via the Last Battle button in bottom corner next to Game Invites.
New Menu music.
New Victory/Defeat music.
Open Another button added to pod opening flow.
Crew implants can now be added to Crew Members by double-clicking them from the collection at the bottom of the barracks page. Likewise, Crew Members can also be added to empty crew slots by double-clicking them from the collection on the right-hand side of the screen.
A crew that you want to duplicate can now be copied by clicking the button above the crew title on the barracks page. Note: This does not copy implants.
Balance Changes
Drones
All drone squadrons that have a limited duration (e.g. Disruptor Heal Drones) will now have their cooldown scaled by how much of their duration is left when they are recalled. For example, if you recall them when they have 50% of their duration left you will only suffer 50% of the regular cooldown.
Aegis
The Aegis Particle Accelerator's AOE tunnel has been updated to change color based on whether it has been fired by an ally or enemy.
Colossus
Colossus Flak:
Added an impact damage component of 5ppd.
Increased AOE on each explosion from 1,000m to 1,250m.
Colossus Photonic Charges:
Decreased AOE impact radius on each projectile from 1000 to 500m.
Reduced the damage done to small ships/drones from 20 to 10ppd.
Increased range from 8622m to 11250m (1.5s x 7500m/s)
Increased armor damage from 70 to 75ppd.
Added an impact damage component that does 35ppd.
Furion
We’ve made some minor adjustments to the Furion that will have little (if any) effect on its DPS, but address/tweak some other areas of the ship’s kit:
Hull Strength. Reduced hull strength from 10000 to 9000. (note: it was previously erroneously claimed to be 9000)
Corrode Drones. Reduced amount of armor damage done from 125 to 100 ppd.
Aug Cannon. Reduced projectile lifespan from 1.2 to 1.1s. At a speed of 12500m/s this results in a range reduction from 15000 to 13750m.
Missiles. Increased launch period from 0.3 to 0.75s and reduced the initial launch speed from 5000 to 1500m/s.
Hunter
The Hunter now has improved turret coverage, the areas where the Hunter had only 25% turret coverage now have 50% turret coverage.
Interceptor
Interceptor no longer has 25% turret arcs to the rear (just 100% frontal arc, and 50% everywhere else).
Ghost
The Ghost has been equipped with some extra ventral turrets to improve tracking when shooting moving targets below it.
Bug Fixes
An issue with the map when the Leviathan jump buoy times out has been fixed
Fixed issue where you could hold down the Jump Home button to bypass jump restrictions with Aegis and Centurion abilities.
Fixed the Overseer's camera from clipping with the front of the ship when at the minimum distance.
Fixed an issue where the Furion's front cannons would fire off-target at tight angles.
Fixed the Revenant Reaper using the old type of Fighters that don't automatically deploy.
Fixed the camera on the Furion being obstructed by the ship when switching to zoom view if the camera is at the minimum distance.
Known Issues
The Base Commander will be on by default for all players, to get your Crew VO back, enter a game and adjust the Base Commander VO to On and then Off and exit the Options menu.
